Worked okay for a while. A little stadic on the play. Power adapter suddenly stopped working after 2 months. It's now unusable.Digital camera Review: Best FM Transmitter I Have Owned
Summary: 5 Stars
I have owned several FM transmitters for my car, and this is by far the best one I have ever owned. When I read the complaints about this product, I was a little worried that I had made the wrong choice, but after using this for about 2 weeks now, I have no idea why those customers gave such a negative review, so I will address the issues that others have had with it.
Let's face it - it's an FM transmitter. We all know that using a direct AUX input is the best way to listen to an iPod or other mp3 player, however, not all of us are lucky enough to have the jack in our car stereos. So it's never going to be THE best sound quality. I must say that this product gives near CD quality though.
One of the complaints this product received is that it is made cheaply & that it breaks after 1 use. I have bee using it for only 2 weeks, and I do not see any problems. It is sturdy & fits my car outlet without a problem. There is no struggle to plug it in or out & I do not feel like it is going to fall apart anytime soon.
The second most common complaint was of static or having to change frequencies often. I live in NJ and do a lot of traveling throughout the state. In a lot of cases I am near major cities with lots of strong radio signals (Philly & NY). With other transmitters that I have owned, I have had TONS of static & had to change frequencies numerous times during a 1 hour trip. With this product, I have yet to have any static and I have remained on the same station for trips lasting over 2 hours. I have not had to change frequencies once yet! There have even been times where I had perfect reception with my iPod, and when I turned it off there was an active radio station coming through - with ZERO interruption to my iPod!!
Like I said, I have owned several transmitters in the past. I have even paid much more money in hopes for a better quality & nothing has beat this! This is definitely the way to go if you are looking for an FM transmitter!
Digital camera Review: Best FM Transmitter I have ever owned!
Summary: 5 Stars
My wife bought this a few months ago and I love it! I have not had ant problems with it. The sound quality is amazing. I use it with my Blackberry and my Ipod. I used it with my old Coby mp3 player and it made crackling noises so I bought an Ipod and no problems now. We use this everyday. We never have to change the frequency unless we go far from our city. I live in Dayton, Ohio and I can make it halfway to Ciny or halfway to Lima before it starts to break up. I have bought and returned 4 other FM Transmitters before I purchased this one.Digital camera Review: Best FM Transmitter I've Tried
Summary: 4 Stars
I've had experience with 4 different brands/models of these, and this one is by far the best. Strong clear signal. The only negative is the oversized iPod-like control panel. For something that you mostly set and forget, it is really overkill.
Still, I highly recommend this product-it is reasonably priced and works perfectly.
Digital camera Review: Best FM transmitter ever!
Summary: 5 Stars
When I went from a Sansa to a Zune, I needed a new transmitter because my old one was also a charger and only works with the Sansa.
I tried a few but ended up with this one and I'm so happy. I've had it for at least 6 months and I've never even had to find a frequency other than 87.9! It is great to use because it is out of the way, and be folded any old direction. I live in Metro Atlanta and almost never have static, and the pass-through port that allows me not to lose the power outlet is a real bonus!
All the Zune-specific fm transmitters seemed to have really bad reviews, so I got this one and I'm delighted with it. I have only one small complaint and It doesn't even bother me because I'm in a minivan and it's out of my sight line, but the lighting on the unit is very bright and that could be a problem for some folks in smaller vehicles on dark nights. Not a bad problem!
